Flight Log - 2012-03-10 - K Sonesen's E-Pod (Tube Fin)
While this rocket can be constructed by bashing an Stormcaster kit, this one was constructed from parts on hand. Larry Brand came up with this particular "kit bash" and deserves all the credit for the design.
It was necessary to add 20g of lead shot to the nosecone to achieve proper balance but that was anticipated.
This one is called "Little Pink" due to the brilliant color scheme. Hopefully these colors will stand out during the retrieval process.
Do not look away when launching this little demon on an E30-4!

WINDY!!
17-19 mph winds but tube fin rockets don't much mind the wind. Good straight boost and the small parachute brought the E-Pod down within 100 yards of the launch point.
